When I was repping in Zante, I worked half for Thomas Cook, half for the actual hotel..was a weird setup and it nearly killed me tbh but something I will never regret, such a different life. Technically I still have an Albanian fiance out there I think I worked more for the hotel though, as it was mainly bar duties and that, and making me do bar crawls with customers. Daytime though, always when hungover and fuctioning on like 3 hours sleep (if that) I had to do kids entertainment/pool games

600 euro a month though, for like..20 hour days with 2 days a month off (and on days off you were expected to do some work really..) was..harsh. Mind, we got accomodation and food and alcohol paid for I guess. Writing this down, though I wonder if I ever actually worked for Thomas cook, thats what my bos said, but I was always paid cash in hand, and quite sure thomas cook would have had some rule against both the hours we did, and the type of work that was expected at times..never thought to ask many questions as it was just..well fun, and I was being paid so no need to rock the boat. Didnt really care who I worked for.

Whats going on with the Tunisian holidaymakers is disgusting.

Tell us something we don't know.

I don't think you can attribute this administration wholly to Brexit but what is scary is the sheer numbers of other workers that will face similar redundancy threats should we crash out, I fear.

My understanding is they overstretched themselves with purchases and never recovered from that
Is this correct, Arista our man in the City?

Yes they bought many small companies,
kept expanding
and had a Massive debt building up.

Thomas Cook should have got smaller
not bigger.


Some are locked in the gates of a Hotel
with Coaches outside. (Tunisia)
That is terrible.

Funding for that Hotel is Locked Up
until all is looked into.

Top executives were getting bonuses while the company was struggling
This sort of thievery has to stop

...holiday makers are being thrown out of hotel rooms, but they obviously don’t know when they’ll get a flight home atm...there will be huge salary losses for the holiday makers as well, when they can’t get back to work and are going to have to take unpaid leave, I would think.....

Nice to have you back Parmy.

A hedge fund made over 200 million from the demise of Thomas Cook. Contributors to that hedge fund were in a position to engineer the extra capital requirements forced on Thomas Cook. If people are looking for someone to blame, i would point them firmly in that direction.

Its pretty incredible that an iconic company of this size has gone bust, the management should be called to account for how this could happen

it was the height of incompetence in management. Yes, the terror attacks had a massive impact, but the Tunisia incident was years ago now. If a company can't re-organise to deal with something like that, they don't deserve to be in business
